Defence Policy

I am extremely grateful to my right hon. Friend for being so generous in giving way a second time. I shall try not to disturb him too many times. Before he finishes talking about Iraq, may I draw his attention to Amnesty International's report of this summer, ““Iraq: Rhetoric and Reality—the Iraqi refugee crisis””? It stated that the number of Iraqis who had fled their homes had reached 4.7 million. According to Amnesty, it exposed how"““the international community is evading its responsibility towards refugees from Iraq by promoting a false picture of the security situation when the country is neither safe nor suitable for return.””" I know that the Secretary of State has been there recently. Does he agree with Amnesty's assessment?
